“Claudia brings extensive planning experience to the city of Powell,” said City Manager Andrew White. “Her appointment as the new Planning Director is a key step in the city’s overall restructuring initiative to develop better efficiencies and provide for high quality customer-service delivery to the people we serve daily – our residents and businesses.”

Husak assisted developers in the creation and authoring of Planned Unit Developments in Dublin, including, most recently, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. She also served as the lead planner on this project as it went through the development process in Dublin.

“I look forward to joining the city of Powell in this new role,” said Husak. “Through the city’s ongoing efforts, particularly during this pandemic, I am very impressed with the Powell business community coming together, lifting each other up and embracing different initiatives. The city of Powell’s commitment to serving the community is inspiring in so many ways, and I look forward to the opportunity to be a part of the city’s team to continue that high level of service.”

Claudia received a Bachelor of Arts in Urban Geography with a Minor in City and Regional Planning as well as a Master of City and Regional Planning from The Ohio State University. She became a Certified Planner through the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) in 2007.
